Escape

Slipping from my chains, I hit the floor.
I burst into the hall and lose my way.
I scan the corridor and break the door.
And see white suits with guns and rays.
 
They ease closer, calm in fact.
They know that I'm closed off.
There's an elevator- in the back,
I'll never make it that far.
 
I back up to the door, but it's already locked.
I look for another way out, there's one.
I'm just one man, this battle can't be fought.
So I leap through the window in the front.
 
I cut myself on the jagged glass,
But it's just a scrape I can power through.
They've got vehicles, and they're too fast.
I leap into another room.
 
It's a lot bigger than the last,  
with computers against the wall.
They, pulled the stops, the room's been gassed,
If I breathe I'll surely fall.
 
I take off my shirt and wipe my sweat,
It's not too damp but it'll have to do.
I put it to my face and pray for the best,
And break a record crossing the room.
 
There are stairs at the end, it's my way out.
I scale the steps and reach the top,
It's a fire exit so it can't be blocked.
But it is by a group of cops.
 
I'm exhausted with nowhere to run.
More white coats show up behind,
The police ease forward and draw their guns,
Well I guess this is the end of the line.
 
I drop to my knees, even though I've been framed,
I surrender at their feet, and they blow out my brains.
